Description: Ecstatic Dance journey played at Synergy Ecstatic Dance in Vancouver BC. A full spectrum journey that takes you through a range of emotion.

Words can not begin to describe all the feelings that the Crop Psycles Collective stir up within me, even as I type an uncontrollable smile has erupted on my face! Each and every member shines in their own special way as they share their knowledge, skills, humour, playful vibes and unconditional kindness with each other and the wider community.

I am beyond thankful for the time and energy invested by all of the crew over the years to continually create cosy welcoming spaces for all to enjoy...Always inspired by the creativity, in awe of the presision tarping - truly a sight to behold! And now humbled by their hospitalitea this particular weekend as I accepted an invite to play music as well as many many games!(The mini golf tale of kismet is one for the books!)

There is no denying the ripple effect from the epicentre of this crop cluster and the good they are doing with their precious time on Earth is just so damn impressive it makes me feel like one lucky gal to be in their orbit!

This is my first recorded downtempo set, on a lazy August night.  I hope you like it. PS. I'm a DJ now.

Ladyboss – Izzy on the Ears

#BeautyBass is the sound that is emerging from me, especially towards the end of the night where we all want to get liquid, sultry, sensual, and melt into thick basslines ~

BEAUTY BASS vol. 1

What is originality in music anymore? It's something I've struggled with as a producer and DJ for much of the past 10 years. As a producer I've pretty much given up on sounding original, but as a DJ I've always tried to find music that sounds original or at least attempts to do so. When it comes to dance floor music I've found it nearly impossible to find music that truly has an original sound to it, but I've been finding all sorts of abstract and eclectic Electronica and random tracks here and there that to me really feel like they're doing something different or going Against The Grain if you will....

When two of the worlds best electronica/downtempo producers and DJs, Bluetech and Dj Maggie respectively asked me to create a set for their streaming show Holotropic Happy Hour I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally put together a set of these tracks! I hope you enjoy the journey!

1 Giant Leap - There’s Nothing Wrong With Me

The Wonky Queenslander 'Everything is Fine' Fundraiser

In October, and especially during Halloween, there is a thinning of the veil between the worlds.

The veil is where we meet our loved ones, guides, and angels. It is a place between the worlds of seen and unseen, known and unknown, living and spirit.

The days are getting shorter, and we are preparing to temporarily withdraw from the realm of life and growth. The harvest cycle is winding down, but it’s not gone completely yet. This represents a transition, or a doorway, or a veil.

Because the veil between the worlds is thin in October, we feel drawn to certain themes at this time of year. There’s no denying that as we approach Halloween, death is a primary cultural symbol. Scary movies, ghosts, graveyards, zombies and skeletons, ways of honoring the dead, like Día De Los Muertos.

This mix was created to honor this time of year when the veil is thin between our world and the spirit world. A time when we can more easily commune with our loved ones who have passed, and our spirit guides.

Witches’s Brew Volume 2 is a magical musical stew that has a strong Mystical base with a hint of Goth, a touch of Tribal, a sprinkling of Funk, a pinch of Psychedelic Rock served up with a driving house beat and polyrhythmic drums, which is then seasoned with my special sauce of electric guitar that is sometimes funky, sometimes spicy, sometimes exotic, and even a bit metal at times.

It begins in stillness with an ambient new age goth sounding track called “The Loom” by Anilah. I have added some haunting Romani inspired guitar to this opening track as a nod to my own ancestors, and to give it a bit more of an edge of mysteriousness. It symbolizes the opening of the veil as we enter this magical dark world.

This song carries us into the Spirit Realm where we are greeted by a trixster of a track that has a message for us - stay light hearted even when things are grim because our spirit guides are with us always.

With the next track, we are starting to get into the groove as we navigate the dark abyss of Voodoo Magic, with Dr John as our guide, where possibilities abound and things are not always what they seem to be.

Next we hear from the late, great, satirical stand up man Mr. Bill Hicks, and the message is clear, “life is like a roller coaster” and it goes up and down, and round and round, but don’t worry because “It’s Just a Ride”!

As the ride continues it builds like a wave of energy bringing us from a slow steady flow, and then, just like life, the road gets a little bumpy with a staccato rhythm, until it starts to flow again. But this time, faster and faster, picking up speed as we enter Chaos. Until, finally the wave crashes into stillness again.

With the closing track “Sky Burial”, also by the amazing goth vocalist Anilah, we have laid our worries to rest and have returned to the world of the Living where we are left with the realization that Death is our Greatest Advisor. It teaches us to live fully in the moment because we never know how much time we have with the ones who are dearest to us.

And, that death is not the end but the beginning of the next great adventure!

Witches' Brew Volume 2 (Mastered v10)

On the Night of October 31st, Forest Creatures and Galatic Entities gathered in a Temple on the top of Mountain. Graced by the shine of the Moon and the blessings of the Earth. We prayed, loved and cared for how we show up in our lives and on this Earth. At this time, its important to remember to gather with close friends, to pray and be in ceremony together. To Celebrate and Grieve. To Life and Death. 
Another Cycle takes place and we are humbly here to be of service to the needs of the Earth.

Some transitions aren't perfect and im learning to live with the imperfections in my life as I grow and learn.

It was a real joy for me to play these songs, I LOVEEEE lots of these and have been holding them close to my heart.

Earth Frequency Festival 2023 - Deep Downtemple Bass Set

Suti is a beautiful little festival held in rural Portugal in late summer. I attended their fourth edition in September 2023 and had the pleasure of following an artist I love to pieces - Zen Baboon. My set started at midnight after they'd been playing midtempo wiggly tunes, so I followed suit. As a result, this set is a tad more on the energetic side within the range of music I like to play, and I had a chance to explore some of the slow house tunes I've been collecting and listening to. It was great fun, and the crowd was very responsive.

Atman Construct - Nautillus
Aligning Minds - Weeping Willow

Modifyre 2020 - Our very first virtual burn 🔥 🔥 🔥

Was lucky enough to play a set for The Wonky Queenslander Theme Camp and have it live streamed out to the cyber paddock!

A full circle moment considering I had my very first glimpse into the realm of performance at Modifyre just a few years ago, I found myself up late surrounded by a handful of friends and an extensive selection of vinyl in the Last Drinks Caravan at Sunset Ducks and couldn't resist the temptation to play

In that moment I understood what all the hype was about, the connection felt as we danced and sang along together to songs so close to my heart, it lit a spark within me and has led me directly to this moment in time.

Feeling fortunate to be part of a community that inspires, supports and encourages creative escapades proving time and time again that we are limited only by our imagination!
